Another thing to consider, when bank fishing, is the water level. Currently the lake is 1.8ft above Summer Pool ... which would limit a lot of shoreline areas.

I use this site : http://lrl-apps.lrl.usace.army.mil/w.../lkreport.html ... to check on water levels. You can also click on the blue numbers of the current water level in the chart, and it will take you to a chart showing the past year's levels, & rainfall. The first chart also shows the current rate of outflow at the dam, which is key to fishing the spillway & downstream ... since low flow rates don't usually bring many fish into the spillway area --- and extreme flow rates are difficult to fish in.
